The Calm Before The Storm?

Karen and I made it safely into Lancaster County, PA last evening and enjoyed a wonderful evening of food, fellowship and gifts with "Mom and Pop B". Traffic was light and the roads were dry. The six hour drive seemed short because we were so enthralled with a book on tape (or CD as the case may be) titled: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. We actually finished listening to the story this afternoon in the comfort of the Harnish's house. Thanks Jay and Renee for letting us stay over at your house last night and letting us relax today!

This evening we headed across town to Steve and Cindy's house for dinner and fellowship. Steve is Karen's brother. Our nephews Craig and Chris and his family were there as well. Now that the meal is over, everyone's gone home, and the kitchen is clean, Karen, Steve, and Cindy are in the living room by the fire chatting.

Everyone is talking about the big snow storm that's supposed to hit tonight and tomorrow. Depending on your weather source, Lancaster, PA is supposed to get 2-14 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. We'll see...you know how much I like snow...Karen's REALLY EXCITED!


Here's Karen and "Ace" (the resident Beagle) on the one couch and Steve in the background checking weather and radar reports on the rapidly approaching storm. All is calm, all is quiet, the winter storm "watch" has been changed to a "winter storm warning". They're about to turn on the Weather Channel so we can get constant weather updates as the end of the world looms...

If we're not all turned into a glacier by tomorrow, I'll try to post up some photos of global warming in action.

Signing off...

Ha!!!! Glad you're there safe and sound. I love the pic with Ace and Karen. Our Beagle always found the same spot when she slept on my bed--right smack in the middle of the bed! Have fun in the snow--yes it's possible to have fun when it snows.
